  1. I'd imagine Steve knew of a guy that built an iPhone in China, I did, didn't know that guy though until I saw the display. XD ?
  2. Tonight's my last night, I get kicked out the hotel at 11am tomorrow and fly out at 15:20. Going to be hitting up a bar I found on my first night that gave me some good restaurant advice and serves cheap booze. It's in Gastown, called Bar 340. I'll be there in about an hour. Like to stay till Midnight but that depends on the buses as I don't fancy walking E-Hastings that late. XD
  3. So great convention overall. May write up my own review separately. But I digress... I too used to volunteer for a few big conventions in the UK and have seem quite a few different takes on the "queuing to see your favorite person" One that may be of use to the more popular creators is a managed and timed line... So only "X" amount of people can physically queue, everyone else is given an incremental numbered slip, When your number is less than the number on display (Increment by one with every attendee seen, or multiples to ease micro) you can join the queue. This: - A: Forces people to go do other stuff, B: Keeps the lines manageable. C : Gives staff the ability to cut off attendance to a guest so they can have breaks This system has been used successfully with A-List celebrity's and queues of thousands... So a few hundred for a couple internet personality's should be fine. XD Another suggestion, prohibit photos.... I know I know.... But I just mean at the meet and greet, have a separate time slot for a proper photo shoot, use your own gear and email the pictures across (The trade off from losing the selfie is the attendee gets a much better photo!) And lastly, as stated before. More staff... But again I worked as a Gopher so I know it can be difficult to get the numbers in.
  4. So yeah the title says it all, Anyone staying at Patricia Hotel... It was dirt cheap, even got 10% off with Honey. XD (Its also cheap for a good reason. XD)
  5. Hey man, Just a heads up, The Telus science center is more of a kids thing, maybe I missed something but didn't enjoy it much... Probably still worth going if you have the time but. What I would recommend is the HR Macmillan Space centre. https://www.spacecentre.ca/
  6. So I seem to be among the lucky few that have managed to snag a office tour ticket. My question is, do we turn up at the office or is there going to be some form of shuttle service from the Convention center? I'm flying over from the UK and have got a hotel booked about 20 minutes from the convention center, just trying to sort out in advance if I'm going to need to arrange something to get me to the office. Thanks guys.
